discovery: avoid wrongly saying there are nothing to pull

We can get in a situation where a revision passed through `hg pull --rev REV`
are available on the server, but not a descendant of the advertised server
heads.

For example the server could lying be during heads advertisement, to hide some
pull request. Or obsolete/hidden content could be explicitly pulled.

So in this case the lookup associated to `REV` returned successfully, but the
normal discovery will find all advertised heads already known locally. This flip
a special boolean `anyinc` that will prevent any fetch attempt, preventing `REV`
to be pulled over.

We add three line of code to detect this case and make sure a pull actually
happens.

My main target is to make some third party extensions happy (I expect the
associated test to move upstream with the extension). However this fix already
make some of the `infinitepush` test happier.

Address commentary in manifest.excludedmanifestrevlog.add -
specifically we should improve the collaboration with core so that
add() never gets called on an excluded directory and we can improve
the stand-in to raise a ProgrammingError.

Reason more completely about rename-filtering logic in
narrowfilelog. There could be some surprises lurking there.

Formally document the narrowspec format. For bonus points, unify with the
server-specified narrowspec format.

narrowrepo.setnarrowpats() or narrowspec.save() need to make sure
they're holding the wlock.

The follinwg places do an unrestricted dirstate walk (including files outside the
narrowspec). Some of them should perhaps not do that.
